H&G .432 gc dbl cav, one hp

[Willyt]

Good day gents ! I have this nice old H&G mold w/handles. It is stamped 45 GC but they measure out to .432 Was it misstamped ? SWC weighs around 230gn and the HP around 210gn . Attaching photos. What’s it’s value, any thoughts. I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

that's the mold number not a description of what's inside.

for instance the H&G #50 is a 38 cal. wad cutter similar to Lymans 358091 mold.
which is 358 but not 091grs.

i got nuthin on Value, that's someone else's department, i'd maybe pay 60-75 bucks, someone else might give 200 [shrug]

An H+G #45 should be a 240 gr gas check SWC. Value? That's up to the buyer. Info- https://www.hensleygibbs.com/HGcatalogs/HG_Catalog_1975.pdf

How is the HP done? Was it a factory option, or a professional conversion, or did someone use their drill press?

Any mould that drops a 44 caliber bullet @ .432" is a definite keeper.

It’s looks to be factory, I’ll try again to download photos

Every time I download pics it tells me too large for the server to process, am I missing something?

Reduce the image quality. Save it as a smaller jpeg file.

I’ll give that a try

I use the phone camera and take enough picture to crop half of it out .

Willy, I misunderstood your earlier post, thought you meant you couldn't get the PDF file to open. My bad.

if you pull the pic up you can click it bigger... so no issue.

Why would the .432 be a keeper ?

Can't speak for those who have revolvers from other manufacturers, but Smith and Wesson .44s are notorious for having cylinder throats that measure .432".
